Tudou, once a scenery, known as "China's largest video website", at that time iQiyi, Tencent Video has not yet risen, the only one who can wrench the wrist with Tudou is Youku.
Who would have thought that in just two years, he collapsed, signed the "Alliance under the City" with Youku, and merged the two, and the initiator of all this was actually derived from the lustfulness of the boss Wang Wei.
In November 2010, after years of preparation, Tudou finally got a pass to go public in the United States, and the owner Wang Wei was very happy.
He understands that as long as Tudou is successfully listed, it can obtain massive funds, and Tudou will surely become the leading boss in the video industry and stomp its competitor Youku under its feet.
Who knew that just when Wang Wei was about to go to the United States, his ex-wife Yang Lei actually intercepted and killed halfway, asking for a 38% stake in Tudou. Wang Wei was furious after hearing this, and categorically rejected Yang Lei, and the two fell into a long property battle.
After Wang Wei's painstaking "fiasco" escape, the US capital market has long cooled.
Although Wang Wei eventually let Tudou restart the IPO and successfully listed, Tudou broke on the first day of the market, falling 12%, and the market value fell to $710 million, no longer the former scenery.
Some people say that the potato network, which was once very popular, has fallen to the point where it is today, which is more or less related to the failure of the listing, and the failure of the potato listing is due to the king's slight lust.
So, Wang Wei, who single-handedly pulled down tudou, how many unknown and bizarre insiders are there in the marriage?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="95" > "I'm stuck in China."</h1>
In 1973, Wang Wei was born into a medical family in Fuzhou, Fujian Province.
Unlike the general good character and excellent learning, all the way to the open, and then successful big boss, from Wang Wei's memory, he has no interest in medicine, nor does he love to learn, and when the college entrance examination comes, Wang Wei's score is far from the admission score line, and he can't read any good school at all.
Fortunately, the economic foundation of Wang Wei's family is still good, and his parents decided to send wang Wei to study abroad when they saw that Wang Wei was not in a famous school in China. The young Wang Wei entered the consulate for the first time to apply for a visa.
At the interview session, the visa officer asked Wang Wei the reason for going to the United States as usual, who knew that Wang Wei said: "I am in China, I can't find out what to do, so I go to the United States to see, but I will come back." ”
The ingenious reasons convinced the consular officer. Wang Wei successfully got the visa, and when he left, the visa officer shouted at him and said: "Young man, I hope you will not be bad when you go to the United States." ”
In the United States, Wang Wei did not spend his mind on his studies, he was still idle, keen to participate in all kinds of parties, champagne, wine, beauty... It's more fun than playing at home.
But during Wang Wei's stay in the United States, he was also an eye-opener, and he was deeply impressed by the video website YouTube, which has just emerged in the American Internet community. Returning home to copy a YouTube idea that appeared in his mind,
"It's time to go back," Wang Thought to himself. He quickly settled everything in place, flew back to his hometown with a plane ticket, and then began his first entrepreneurial journey in China - founding Tudou.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="32" > scumbag nature</h1>
Unfortunately, the establishment of Tudou network did not go smoothly. Due to the lack of popularity, Tudou has been tepid, and Wang Wei looked in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.
In order to promote Tudou, Wang Wei had to frequently attend various social occasions to make friends, including a college reunion that changed the fate of Tudou.
At the time of the party, Wang Wei had just received a $500,000 investment from IDG to Potato. Wang Wei needs to meet various media friends and help Tudou promote it in order to give an account to the capital side.
It just so happened that there was a girl named Yang Lei at the party, who was a famous beauty host of Shanghai Satellite TV.
The programs she hosts, such as "New old lady uncle" and "Entertainment Online", have a high degree of national popularity, and Yang Lei is also Fudan's master of journalism, which can be said to be the coexistence of beauty and wisdom.
At first, Wang Wei may have approached Yang Lei for commercial purposes, but after the two had in-depth exchanges, Wang Wei could not help but be impressed by Yang Lei's beauty and talent, and at this time Yang Lei also found that she and Wang Wei had many similar interests and hobbies, and could not help but be impressed by Wang Wei.
Although Yang Lei has a cheerful and outgoing personality, she is very reserved in her feelings. In the end, it was Wang Wei who broke through this layer of window paper. Once, he asked Yang Lei to travel to Tibet, and suddenly gave Yang Lei a ring folded into a one-dollar note to propose.
Yang Lei understood that Wang Wei had a short marriage, but at that time, her whole body was wrapped in sweet and romantic love, where else to worry about this. Looking at Wang Wei, who was kneeling on one knee in front of him, Yang Lei nodded movingly.
In 2007, Wang Wei and Yang Lei were officially married, and after the marriage, Yang Lei's family funded the decoration of their love nest. However, not long after the new house was installed, wang wei and Yang Lei's relationship had problems.
It turns out that the personalities of both of them are very strong, and this characteristic of their personalities after marriage is constantly amplified. Any disagreement in life, they have to fight to win or lose right or wrong.
In this way, marriage simply cannot allow them to achieve the advantages of a strong union, but it makes the two people more than internally consumed.
What made Yang Lei even more intolerable was that Wang Wei was an extremely person. In Yang Lei's words, it is "(Wang Wei) He loves all beautiful things, but after conquering, he will continue to look for the next one." ”
The next target Wang Wei was looking for was Tan Yuanyuan.
The girl is said to have become the youngest soloist at san Francisco Ballet, one of the three major ballet companies in the United States, at the age of 18, and is still the only Chinese principal dancer in the world's top ballets.
It can be said that Tan Yuanyuan's popularity is not under Yang Lei at all, and he has a brilliant future abroad.
However, Wang Wei's love routine made Tan Yuanyuan can't help but be crazy for love, she quit her job abroad and ran to Hong Kong to become a ballet dancer, just to be able to live with Wang Wei.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="101" > transfer property: smart is mistaken by smart</h1>
Seeing that Tan Yuanyuan was completely in love with himself, Wang Wei decided to have a showdown with Yang Lei. He transferred the property in advance, and asked someone to make Tudou's company accounts into a state of debt, and then filed a divorce with Yang Lei.
Yang Lei, who had no defense, was stunned by the word "divorce", and when she reacted, she found that Wang Wei had already done enough in the property, and finally Wang Wei took out a mere 100,000 yuan and let Yang Lei "clean" out of the house.
According to media reports, this sent Yang Lei's 100,000 yuan, less than half of the decoration money that Yang Lei originally took to decorate the house.
If you are an ordinary person, the story will end here. But Yang Lei is a Highchip female elite who runs across the media industry, and she is a weak woman who is bullied by others.
After the divorce, Yang Lei learned through friends that Tudou was about to be listed, so Yang Lei immediately began to learn the relevant knowledge of the listing of Chinese enterprises, and in just a few months, she reached a level that could be discussed with professional lawyers.
Subsequently, Yang Lei quietly waited for the opportunity, until Tudou was ready for everything, Andu Wei was ready to go to the United States to witness the eve of tudou online listing, Yang Lei suddenly filed a lawsuit with the Shanghai court, demanding that the 76% equity of Tudou during the marriage with Wang Wei be re-divided.
Wang Wei suddenly fell into a dilemma, if he admitted that he had made false accounts, it would definitely affect the market listing of Tudou, but if he recognized the market value of Tudou, he must pay the woman's property.
After thinking about it, Wang Wei finally chose the future of Tudou. He endured the pain of paying Yang Lei $7 million to settle, and finally withdrew from the divorce property lawsuit.
Unfortunately, although this lawsuit ended, it delayed the best listing time of Tudou. When Wang Wei restarted the IPO again, he found that their competitor Youku had already preemptively listed and forced Tudou to win the crown of the industry boss.
Tudou.com, which lost its leading position in the industry, was in a slump, and investors looked at it and withdrew their investment, which led to the further deterioration of Tudou's operating conditions, and was eventually acquired by Youku, and Wang Wei was forced to retire early.
Thinking about it carefully, it is quite emotional, Wang Wei has calculated everything, thinking that he has taken away his ex-wife's property in vain.
What is expected to be done, the sky is watching, the ex-wife fought back with a god, so that Wang Wei not only lost a lot of property, but also directly led to the collapse of the career, which can really be regarded as the capital financial version of "losing the wife and folding the soldiers".
